POWER LEVEL MICROWAVE OUTPUT USE

SENSOR OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite

foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.

The oven automatically determines required cooking

time for each food item. When the internal sensor

detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the

food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The

display will show the remaining heating time. For best

results for cooking by Sensor, following these

recommendations.

1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at

normal storage temperature.

2. Glass Tray and outside of container should be dry to

assure best cooking results.

3. Foods should always be covered loosely with

microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.

4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR

key during the sensing time. When the sensing time

has ended, the oven beeps twice and the remaining

cooking time will appear in the display window. At

this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or

rearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good

Sensor cooking results.

1. Always use microwavable containers and cover

them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can

prevent steam from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

3. Match the amount to the size of the container.

Fill containers at least half full for best results.

4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the

inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing

food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into

steam can mislead the sensor.

ADDING OR SUBTRACTING

COOK TIME

By using the MORE or LESS pads all of the sensor

cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook

food for a longer or shorter time. Pressing MORE will

add 10 seconds of cooking time each time you press

it. Pressing LESS will subtract 10 seconds of cooking

time each time you press it.

POPCORN

POPCORN lets you pop commercially packaged

microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time.

For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.

• Recommended amount : 3.0 ~ 3.5 ozs.

- 15 -

Example: To pop popcorn.

1. Touch POPCORN pad.

When the cook time is over,

you will hear four beeps and

AUTO DEFROST

Three defrost choices are preset in the oven. The

defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting

method for frozen foods, because the oven

automatically sets the defrosting times for each food

item according to the weight you enter. For added

convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in

tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over,

separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost

cycle. Three different defrosting options are provided.

1. MEAT

2. POULTRY

3. FISH

After touching AUTO DEFROST once, select the food

category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry

and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.

NOTE:

• After you touch START, the display counts down the

defrost time. The oven will beep once during the

Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn,

separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove

any portions that have thawed then return frozen

portions to the oven and touch START to resume the

defrost cycle.

• The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless

the door is opened.

WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART

To enter food weight in AUTO DEFROST, you must

specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on

the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can

use the following chart to convert the weight to

decimals.

DEFROSTING TIPS

• When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be

entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of

pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

• Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO

DEFROST gives best results when food to be

thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a

true freezer). If food has been stored in a

refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a

temperature of 5°F or below, always program a lower

food weight (for a shorter defrosting time)

to prevent cooking the food.

• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to

20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.

• The shape of the package alters the defrosting

time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more

quickly than a deep block.

• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated

pieces defrost more easily.

• You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield

foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but

the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil

causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.

• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they

start to become warm.

• For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting

rack.

• For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on a

microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents the

possibility of warm meat juices cooking food during

defrost.

- 18 -

Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.

1. Touch AUTO DEFROST

pad.

2. Choose food category.

3. Enter the weight.
